1. Purchase-price variance
Standard Price per pound = $25
Actual Price per pound = $28.50
Quantity of aluminium purchased = Closing inventory + quantity used - Opening inventory
= 30 + 3,450 -50
= 3,430 pounds
Purchase price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) * Quantity purchased
= ($25 - $28.50) * 3,430
= $12,005 (U)
2. Usage Variance
Standard quantity of aluminium for actual production = 920 units @ 4 pounds each
= 3,680 pounds
Usage Variance = (Standard quantity of material - Actual Quantity used) * Standard price per unit
= (3,680 - 3,450) * $25
= $5,750 (F)
3. Direct labor Rate Variance
Direct labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate per hour - Actual Rate per hour) * Actual hours for production
= ($40 - $41.50) * 4,200
= $6,300 (U)
4. Efficiency Variance
Standard hours for actual production = 920 units @ 5 per hour
= 4,600 hours
Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard hours for actual production - Actual hours for actual production) * Standard rate per hour
= (4,600 - 4,200) * $40
= $16,000 (F)
